As the rut kicks off, the aggressive tendencies of bucks is at an all time high. Using a decoy can be a game changer during this period, however don’t overlook the way that you set it up in relation to your stand. Always keep the wind in your favor, and position the decoy to force the buck into a shooting lane if he comes in to investigate. He will almost always come in squared up to whichever way the decoy is facing!
